Former NBA star and Newark native Shaquille O'Neal was sued this week along with Utah Jazz guard Trey Burke and rapper Waka Flocka Flame after they mocked Jahmel Binion, a man with a rare disorder.

Binion, who suffers from hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, is claiming "defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and general negligence for the incidents earlier this year," according to The Macomb Daily's Jameson Cook.

In April, O'Neal snapped a photo in which he imitated Binion's face and showed himself side-by-side with the resident of Warren, Mich. When he found out Binion suffered from a disorder that, as Cook wrote, is "characterized by a reduced ability to sweat, sparse hair growth, missing teeth and facial deformities," he called and apologized.

Burke and Waka Flocka Flame also apologized, but they were all named in the suit.

"When they said sorry, I felt like they were saying it to get the pressure off of them for being considered 'bad people,'" Binion told Cook. "Even though I accept their apology, I still hope that they donate to my cause or other organizations that connect with ectodermal dysplasia.”

Binion is seeking $25,000 in damages, while his attorney said the mockery "constituted a public disclosure of embarrassing private facts about the plaintiff” and “placed plaintiff in a false light in the public eye.”
